Overview
Raising the Performance Bar to a a New Standard of PC Arcade Accerleration
Enter the generational leap in PC three-dimensional graphics with Orchid Technology's. Righteous 3D IITM. Righteous 3D II, designed for the serious game player who demands the highest performance for games, delivers "Righteous Results". Brace yourself for revolutionary performance that produces explosive 3D images. Complex 3D enviroments are rendered at full speed to transport you into realistic 3D worlds. Impressive full motion fill rates accelerate all 3D features simultaneously without compromising visual detail. The only station you'll play is your computer with Righteous 3D II.


Next Level of 3D Arcade Acceleration with Enhanced Visual Realism
Enhanced visual realism can't be measured, it has to be experienced. Righteous 3D II takes 3D to the next level by delivering both a well rounded 3D rendering feature set and outstanding performancee for a varitey of gaming titles. Advanced filtering and anti-aliasing techniques produce smooth textured images. High precision 3D accuracy generates realistic three dimensional objects. Transparent and translucent effects like fog, smoke and haze create stunning atmospheric conditions. Other special 3D features include morphing textures, animated surfaces and incredible lighting effects. Experience a new level of total 3D immersion with entertainment titles.

For No-Holds-Barred Blistering 3D Performance
It's not just about 3D performance. It's about full feature performance with full speed interactivity. Other accelerators lack the power to perform multiple 3D functions while
maintaining full motion frame rates. They are forced to compromise visual quality for real-time interactivity. Based on 3Dfx Interactive Voodoo2 GraphicsTM, Righteous 3D II's triplel 64-bit memory architecture provides direct access to the frame buffer and texture memory. This advance design uses dual texture-processing units, each of which can apply a texture to an object in a single pass. In addition, two Righteous 3D II's can be connected together to accelerate the next generation of games. When connected by an internal cable, the cards automatically enter Scanline Interleave (SLI) mode and work simultaneously on each frame of animatiion, providing an impressive increase in performance.

Dedicated 3D Accelerator with Outstanding Direct3D Performance
Worried about 2D acceleration? Don't be. Righteous 3D II operates transparently with existing Windows accelerators without impacting 2D performance. Plug and Play compatibility with Microsoft Windows 95 features automatic configuration and trouble free operation. Righteous 3D II supports Windows 95 Direct3D API to provide compatibility with a wide range of future software titles.
